Zooming in on HD footage is the best I can do to convey picture detail and quality in an easy to playback video format. If you'd like to see the corresponding raw captures in their native DV/MPEG-2 formats, check out the following links.

Reviewer: MediaWhore - - September 7, 2005
Subject: What is the capital of Thailand?
Very educational comparision between DV, SD & HD video formats. As boring as this subject matter seems to most this film pulls it off in an entertaining manner by using some very bizzare subject matter in its comparision shots (ex.. a man swinging a sledge hammer at an abandoned house).
